9 Introduction The 301C controller acts as a nerve center for a gas detection network, providing continuous monitoring for up to 96 connected units (plus 1 301ADI). Once installed and connected, the controllers allow the user to monitor, adjust, or reconfigure an entire network of units. Intended Use The controller is intended to monitor an entire gas detection network around the clock. The unit offers logging capabilities, creating log files of all transmitter concentrations and alarms for analysis. The unit is also equipped with grouping or zoning capabilities that allow users to query and monitor specific groups of transmitters or specific transmitter zones. Receiving and Unpacking Upon receiving the controller unit: Check that the package is undamaged Carefully open the package. Locate the packing slip or purchase order and verify that all items on the order are present and undamaged Note: If the package or any of its contents are damaged, please refer to the Warranty section at the back of the manual for instructions. 9

10 Installation Instructions Basic Guidelines For proper operation of the controller, follow the instructions in this manual carefully. Locate all units in areas easily accessible for service. Avoid locations where instruments are subject to vibrations Avoid locating units near sources of electromagnetic interference Avoid locating units in areas subject to significant temperature swings Verify local requirements and existing codes that may impact choice of location. 10

11 Surface Mount Installation It is recommended that controllers be installed 5 feet (1.5 m) above the floor, at approximate eye level. Mark the holes as shown: Height markers 6 13/32 (16.3 cm) apart Width markers 10 9/16 (26.8 cm) apart Pre drill 1/4 mounting holes as needed Securely mount the 301C controller using the appropriate screws Wiring for the unit must be passed through the knock outs provided at the bottom of the unit. 11

12 Wiring Details The diagram below provides the details required to connect the 301C controller with power, transmitters, external relay loads, and BACnet. Details concerning power supply, cables, capacities, etc., are provided in the Specifications section at the back of this manual.

13 Topic J22 Power Input J23, J24 Communication inputs Relay Outputs 1 4 SHDN jumper EOL Resistors 1 4 Description Connect the power supply to the controller (see Wiring Details for cabling diagrams) Connect communication cables to channels 1 through 3. Depending on the desired configuration, connect the relay cables to either N.O. or N.C. Relays 1 and 2 are commandable by either internal events or by BACnet; relays 3 and 4 are driven only by internal events. Place the jumper over the Shutdown header pins to reset or restart the system. Place the jumper over the header pins to include resistors to attenuate communication echoes. Power Connections The 301C controller requires a power range of Vac, 50/60 Hz (8.64 VA), Vdc, 350 Vdc (8.4 VA). Polarization is not important in either AC or DC mode. The system must be grounded on the transformer and a dedicated circuit breaker must be used. Communication Connections Communication cables must be grounded using the shield terminal, using twisted and shielded pair Belden 2 24 AWG #9841 cable (or equivalent). The network cabling can extend up to 2000 feet (609 m) per channel. Daisy chain the network cable with no T taps. 13

14 The 301C controller communicates with gas sensors over a Modbus RS 485 network. This transmission line requires that 120Ω termination resistors be fitted at both ends of each network segment to absorb the signal and thus prevent reflections. Fortunately, the controller makes network termination simple as resistors are included on the board. These can be switched in and out of network by moving the EOL jumpers as shown in the figure on page 12. More information on RS 485 wiring is published by Maxim Integrated in the TUTORIAL 763 Guidelines for Proper Wiring of an RS 485 (TIA/EIA 485 A) Network. Settings for Specific Transmitters Honeywell Sensepoint XCD Transmitters must be configured for 9600 baud, no parity, and a unique address. Honeywell XNX Universal Transmitters must be configured for 9600 baud and a unique address. Information on configuring each transmitter is in the associated technical manual. Some sensors consume multiple addresses on the 301C controller. Specifically, the 301EM consumes 4 addresses regardless of the number of sensors connected. Additionally, the IAQPoint2 consumes 3 addresses if fitted with the optional temperature / humidity sensor. Please allocate proper address spacing for applications utilizing a mixture of sensors on a single system. Relay Output The relay output can withstand up to 5A at 30Vdc or 250Vac resistive load. Relays can be used to activate horns and strobes. Although each relay is programmed with a default setting (below), they can be configured using the controller programming menu. 14

15 By default, the relays are normally de energized and will go energized when events occur. However the relays can be configured for failsafe or normally energized. If so, events will drive them to deenergized. If relays are set to normally closed, the relay is powered up with the controller and the device linked to the relay is functioning. The relay will shut down when the associated event is activated. If the relay is set to normally open, the relay will remain off when the controller is powered up and the device connected to the relay will only be activated when the associated event is activated. 15

16 Jumper Use Instructions The jumpers on the controller PCB allow a variety of operations to be performed manually: EOL 1 4 Topic Description Enables the user to add End Of Line jumpers that improve communication signals. Put the jumper in R position (as shown on wiring diagram) to activate the End of Line termination. (R provides a resistance termination and RC provides resistance and condensator termination.) Enables the microcontroller to be reset or temporarily shut down. This function is used mainly when system wiring adjustments are needed (power off for safety). SHDN CAUTION Power may still be present on the relay terminals even after powering off. Relays J29 J32 These jumpers allow the relay to be tested by activating it without having any effect on Events. 16

17 Initial Startup Make sure that all wiring has been completed according to specifications in the wiring details before powering up the unit. When all is secure, remove the SHDN jumper to power up the unit. Within sixty seconds the controller will be fully operational. Datalogger (SD card) The DLC (Data Logger Card) option for the controller collects data and stores it on a digital Flash memory card (SDCard). In the event that the card memory becomes full: Information logging is stopped No SDcard flag is displayed on screen The SDcard LED blinks See the Acquisition section for more details on starting and stopping the datalogging function. SDHC cards are not supported; use only SD cards. CAUTION Always deactivate datalogging function before removing the SDcard. Never remove the card when its LED is on. 17

18 Programming Interface The front panel of the 301C provides a programming keypad (buttons) and LEDs. 301C controller front panel keypad: Keypad Functions Each unit has 7 keypad keys. The display contrast can be adjusted by pressing the Up and Down keys when the main screen is displayed. Keys Arrows ESC Enter Silence Description Used to move the cursor through the various programming fields (Up, Down, Left and Right), or to adjust the display contrast (press and hold the up or down arrow until desired contrast is reached and release). Used to exit the programming menu or to cancel a change or input. Used to access the programming menu and to modify programming fields. Turns off the controller s buzzer. 18

19 LED Definitions The controller is equipped with 7 LEDs that provide a status for each function related to that indicator: LED Alarm A Alarm B Alarm C Power Fault Tx Rx Description A blinking red light indicates that an event has been activated. A constant red light indicates that one or more transmitters have reached Alarm A or Alarm 1. When the red indicator is on, one or more transmitters have reached Alarm B or Alarm 2. When the red indicator is on, one or more transmitters have reached Alarm C. Green indicates that the unit is powered up and functional When the amber LED is on, it indicates a fault (i.e. a communication, maintenance or device problem) When the amber LED is blinking, it indicates that the controller is sending information or requests on the communication channel. When the green LED is blinking, it indicates that the controller is receiving information. Each of these functions is linked to parameters programmed in the control unit, which we will discuss in the following section. 19

20 System Operation The system operates in four different modes that allow it to use, analyze, debug, and simulate the actions that the system can perform. These modes are: Normal, Single Tx, Debug and Simulate. The default system operation mode is Normal. The other modes are available through the Tests menu (option 8 from the Main Menu). Note: Systems services may be disrupted by some menu operations. Specifically, viewing the events dialogue may inhibit event operation. 20

21 System Programming The system s Normal programming mode offers several menu options that are accessible from the main menu screen: Mode Description 1. Tx Info Allows transmitter parameters to be programmed 2. Groups Allows sets of multiple transmitters to be aggregated for simpler programming of a common response. 3. Events Facilitates creation of logical terms which respond to transmitters or events. These Boolean outputs can respond to concentration, alarm, or fault status. These events facilitate voting within a group and can drive relay outputs. 4. Acqui Allows the datalogging feature to be activated or deactivated 5. Copy Allows data or parameters to be copied from the (controller) configuration to parameters 6. Config Allows system parameters and password to be set 7. Network Allows actions on the network to be performed, communication statistics to be consulted, and remote calibrations to be performed 8. Tests Allows each device to be tested sequentially (inputs, outputs, communications, events, etc.) and operation of various parameters to be validated 9. BACNet Allows a device s BACNet parameters to be set 10. Wireless Not supported. Note: Access to the programming functions is password protected. The default password is The screen display shown below appears initially. This display can be configured to scroll among the information screens for each device connected to the controller. 21

22 If one or more of the connected devices is in an alarm mode, the controller will only scroll between the main information screen and the screens for device(s) in alarm mode. In this case, you must scroll manually to view screens for other devices. 22

23 The information screen also displays icons representing certain system functions. Here is a list of possible icons and their meaning: Icon Description BACNet: Indicates that there is a BACNet module present and that it is communicating with the controller. BACNet error: Indicates that a BACNet module is present but communication with the controller has failed (error) Debug: Indicates whether the controller is in debug mode (Single TX, Debug or Simulation modes). When in simulation mode, SIM appears next to this icon. Log: Indicates that either Tx Logging or Event logging is enabled. Log error: Indicates that an error occured during TX or Event logging. All logging functions are stopped. SDC: Indicates that an SDcard is present and functionning. The icon fills (from white to black) progressively as memory is used. A white icon indicates empty memory and black indicates full memory. SDC error: If this symbol persists for more than 5 seconds, an SD card card is present but not functioning properly. Wireless network: Indicates that the wireless network coordinator (wireless communication module) is present and communicating with the controller. Wireless network error: Indicates that the wireless network coordinator (wireless communication module) is present but is not communicating with the controller. 23

24 Since the controller s programming functions are password protected, it is necessary to access the login screen: Press Enter to access the programming options. The password screen appears: Use the keypad Up or Down arrows to increase or decrease the value, one digit at a time, starting with the first digit When all the digits of the password are correct, press Enter to access the programming functions. The first MENU options screen appears. Use the keypad arrows to navigate through multiple screens to the desired function and press Enter to access it. 24

25 1. Tx Info Menu Tx Info is the menu option dedicated to transmitter information and several sub menu options. They are summarized here and detailed on the following pages. Exact screens will vary with transmitter types. Menu Option Description Screen Ident COM Allows the network component s identification information to be viewed. Allows the communication protocol to be viewed or changed Detection or Scale (1) and Scale (2) Allows the detection range and the unit of measurement parameters to be viewed and changed Display Alarms Allows the label (or name) of a specific component to be changed Allow alarm thresholds to be viewed and sometimes changed. There can be significant variations in this screen depending on transmitter type. Status Displays Erase or Current Tx Transmitter and node status (in hexadecimal values) Erases or changes the Tx address 25

26 Ident Menu The Ident, or identification menu allows a component s network ID to be consulted: The upper right corner of the screen shows the component s address. If the address of the device whose information must be viewed is known: Use the arrows to move the cursor arrow to the on screen address Press Enter (the value can be edited while the number is flashing) Use the up or down arrows to increase or decrease the value Press Enter again to validate the entry and display the information for the desired device. The bottom left corner of the display shows the transmitter name (ex.: 301D2 product name) and the sensor type (ex.: CH4 methane sensor). These values can also be changed for Group or Vulbus product types. The procedure is identical for both fields: Programming or changing a product or sensor type Use the arrows to move the cursor to the product type field. Press Enter to select the field (the value can be modified when flashing) Use the arrows to scroll through the list of product types and press Enter when the desired product or sensor appears 26

27 Product and Sensor Types This is a list of all the (preprogrammed) product types available from the Identification option in the Tx Info menu. E3Point CO 1. Tx Info 121 -Ident- Compatible products: E3Point 420MDBS ECFX 301R 301EM SQN8X XCD XNX IAQPoint2 Legacy Vulcain products Note: When Group is selected as a product type, the remaining Tx INFO screens are not accessible (because each product in the group has already been individually programmed). Only the Ident and Erase current Tx screens will be available. The sensor type list applies to address ranges 1 96 and is not dependent on the type of product selected. Devices in the address range from will display a BACNet object identifier, rather than a sensor type. *An additional Product Type, simply called Group, represents a group created in the Groups Menu in the controller. When scrolling through the available product type list, this name will appear as many times as there are groups created in the controller (example: Group 1, Group 2, Group 3, etc.). If a group is selected as the product type, then the sensor type options are limited to MIN, MAX and MEAN. 27

28 COM Menu This screen displays the selected communication protocol for device addresses from 1 to 96. Each transmitter s protocol is defined by the controller (see Network Auto configuration section) If a transmitter is compatible with several different protocols, it can be modified using to one of the following options: Vulbus Mdbs ASCII 7D 2S NP 9600 bauds Mdbs RTU 8D 2S NP 9600 bauds Mdbs RTU 8D 1S NP 9600 bauds Mdbs RTU 8D 1S OP 9600 bauds When a transmitter is configured with the Modbus communication protocol, the transmitters automatically sends the programmable parameters to the controller. Note: Vulbus transmitter parameters must be programmed manually. 28

29 Scale Menus (1 and 2) These menus appear only for certain devices. Scale(1) allows the detection range, minimum and maximum, to be defined for the selected device. Whatever value is specified is the value that will appear at the device display (if applicable). The Minimum value is generally left at 0. Parameters for the XNX and XCD gas detectors can be viewed here but can be changed only at the transmitter. Scale(2) allows the factor by which to divide the scale (between 0 and 65535) and the unit of measurement for the selected scale to be determined. The factor allows precise scale limits for detection to be set. By dividing the maximum scale value in the first Scale screen (250 in this example) by 10, a scale value of 25.0 can then be displayed. The Units allow the device s unit of measurement to be selected: F: Sets degree Farenheit as the unit of measurement C Sets degree Centigrade as the unit of measurement %RH Sets Relative Humidity as the unit of measurement mv Sets millivolts as the unit of measurement V Sets volts as the unit of measurement ma Sets milliamps as the unit of measurement % Sets the percentage of gas as the point unit of measurement ppm Sets parts per million of gas as the point unit of measurement 29

30 Detection Menu The detection menu (available only for devices with addresses between 1 and 96) displays the detection range (scale: ) and the unit of measurement (unit: %) for the selected component. If a transmitter uses the Modbus protocol, the detection parameters are automatically defined during network configuration and are not editable. Vulbus protocols must be manually defined by the programmer. The detection scale is between 0 and the maximum value (0.00) and the unit of measurement is either ppm or percent (% for oxygen and % LEL for combustibles). The detection menu is not available for the VA301R or VA301AP. Programming or modifying the scale range or unit: Use the arrows to move the cursor to the scale or unit option Press Enter and use the arrow to increase or decrease the value Press Enter when the desired value is obtained 30

31 Display Menu This option allows a specific label or name to be assigned to the selected component (transmitters, relay modules, annunciators). Up to 20 characters, including spaces, can be used in the label (example: BOILER ROOM). The default Modbus transmitter labels are composed of the component (or transmitter) name, sensor type and address. Vulbus transmitter labels contain 20 blank characters (spaces). 31

32 Alarm A, B, and C Menus The screens for viewing alarm thresholds are combined in this manual. There will be either two or three levels, depending on transmitter type. If present, separate MIN and MAX levels permit manual control of the hysteresis of each alarm. Normally, the MAX level is set greater than MIN. However, alarms can be made to trigger on falling concentration (as with oxygen) by setting the MAX threshold smaller than the MIN threshold. With certain transmitters, only one threshold will be displayed. Additionally, with certain transmitters, the alarm thresholds are readonly at the controller. These thresholds can be set only at the transmitter. These are typical screens: Typical screen for viewing alarms A or B on XCD and XNX transmitters Typical screen for viewing or changing alarm A, B, or C thresholds on other transmitters. 32

33 Servicing and Operating Menus These functions vary depending on the transmitter type. These displays show the total time the device has been in service and the amount of time remaining until the next required calibration or replacement. 33

34 Status Code These screens display transmission or node status and sensor status for the selected transmitter. This read only information can assist service personnel in troubleshooting. The XNX and XCD gas detectors will report the warning or fault number (ifaultwarnnumber) in hexidecimal on the third line. These transmitters will also report the monitoring state (imonitoringstate) in the fourth line. See the transmitter documentation for interpretation of fault numbers and monitoring states. Typical display for XNX or XCD Typical display for other transmitters 34

35 Erase Current Tx This function allows the configuration to be erased or the Tx address for the displayed component to be changed. Note: Selecting erase current Tx only erases the current device entry Tx Info configuration. No other data is erased. 35

36 Change Tx Address Selecting Change Tx Address allows users to move a device from one TX address to another: Use the arrows to scroll to Change Tx Address and press Enter to select In the next screen, scroll to the address number and press Enter to select Use the up or down arrows to increase or decrease the address value and press Enter to validate the new address. The Change Tx address option is only available (active) for device address 1 to 96 and if there is a Modbus device connected. If the address is valid, the screen will display Processing. If the address is invalid, the screen will display Invalid Tx and return to the Change Tx Address screen (the address for GasPoint devices cannot be changed). A final screen will display either Error or Success (restart procedure if Error is displayed). Note: If a device address is changed to one already associated with another device, the existing data will be overwritten. Customers should know their network s address assignments and be careful when changing a Tx address. Delete the original Tx address to avoid duplicate entries.this feature is not supported with XNX and XCD transmitters. 36

37 2. Groups Menu Programming groups of transmitters allows several units to be combined which then enables actions (events) to be taken based on a series of units rather than each unit, individually. A group is a stack containing the addresses from each of the transmitters included in the group. Groups are displayed in a single line; if a group contains more than four components, the arrows must be used to scroll left and right of the display window to view all members of a group. The cursor in the Group screen is represented by the blinking brackets (<end>). Any information between the brackets can be edited. 37

38 Creating Groups The 301C controller accepts a variety of transmitter models with a variety of gas sensors. It can organize the data conveniently using groups and events. However, the group logic requires that all of the members of the group be from the same transmitter models and the same sensor type. Mixing dissimilar sensors or transmitters in a group can cause incorrect results. Use the arrows to move the cursor to a group line and press Enter The field can be edited when the brackets stop blinking and the word end blinks Use the up or down arrows to scroll through the list of all units connected to the 301C controller, until the desired address is displayed. Press Enter again to validate the address. The address is added to the group and the <end> bracket is shifted one position to the right. Do not add duplicate copies of a transmitter. The process can be repeated until all the desired transmitters in the group (up to 126) have been added. The address for each transmitter added in the Tx Info menu is available when creating groups. Note: Groups created in the Groups menu will appear in the product type list (Tx Info - Ident screen) as Group xx (the number assigned to the group when it was created). 38

39 Deleting Groups Use the empty all groups command to delete all groups previously programmed in the controller. Single groups can be deleted with a simple procedure: Scroll to the first transmitter in the group list, Select the transmitter (its address blinks) and scroll to <del> (<del> erases the entry and <end> marks the end of the stack) Press enter and the group is emptied. This procedure makes it possible to delete one, several or all entries previously included in a group. Note: Up to 126 groups, with a maximum of 128 members each, can be created. 39

40 3. Events Menu The Events menu is programmable. Event programming lets specific actions to be defined: Menu Topic Action Description What will be done if programmed criteria are reached Screen Delays Conditions Defines the length of time to wait before taking an action on an event and time to wait after an event has returned to normal before the action output is returned to normal state. AND, OR or none (---); equations that allow more detailed control of an event Coverage period Determines the period during which the event is applicable Status disabled Disables or enables a programmed Event Database Erases the selected event or all events 40

41 Action Menu Actions are comprised of two parameters: Parameter Target Relay Description Indicates which component is responsible for the action to be taken; Tx (transmitter) Re (Relay/Annunciator) Ctrl (Controller) Indicates which of three possible outputs will be activated when the event is true; #XX (activates the component s #xx relay), Buzzer (activates the component s audible alarm) ALL (activates the relays and audible alarms) Example: Tx 007 detects a concentration exceeding the set values. The target (controller) triggers relay 1 connected to that event (a fan perhaps). Multiple events may be associated with a single relay. If so, the relay will be activated if any of the associated events are true. 41

42 Delays Menu This option allows Before and After settings that will delay the activation or deactivation of an action to be programmed. Before After Delays the action for the specified length of time. If the condition persists beyond this delay, the defined action is executed. The time to wait after an event has returned to normal before returning action output to normal state. The after delay also offers a Latch option, described below. Before and After delays can be configured at either 30 or 45 seconds or from 1 to 99 minutes, in one minute increments. Five dashes ( ) indicates that no delay has been programmed. Use the keypad arrows to scroll to the desire option Press Enter to select the option Use the keypad arrows to scroll through the second or minute settings Press Enter at the desired setting. The delay is set. 42

43 Latch Mode The Latch function is executed on an Event state It is possible to select the Latch mode by changing the after delay to latch The Event stays active until the Silence keypad button is pressed The Silence keypad button has two functions: Silence the buzzer and unlatch the event. When the Silence keypad button is pressed, events in Latch mode are unlatched and reevaluated. If the Event condition persists, the Event remains active and returns to Latch mode. If the condition does not persist, the event is deactivated. Note: If the Event has a Before delay and the Silence button is pressed while the Event conditions are still true, the buzzer will be silenced only for the length of the programmed delay. 43

44 Conditions Conditions are the parameters that define what makes an Event true. Each condition is defined by four elements and can be combined with other conditions to provide greater flexibility. A condition, as in the example provided below, defines: IF at least 1/3 of group 36 detects concentrations greater than 2.01% of specified gas AND all of group 03 detects a concentration greater than 2.99% of gas, then the specified action (Actions were set at the first Event screen) for that Event will be triggered. Since the display screens offer limited space, scroll left and right to view and edit further information. Condition programming screens The portion of the Events condition screen that is within the brackets is divided into four editable list fields: 44

45 The top left portion contains the statistic quantifier (available only for Groups) that take only the specified part of the group into the equation. Options available in this field are: Option all mean max min 1/4 1/3 1/2 2/3 3/4 1 or + outl Description includes all transmitters in the group includes the average concentration for the group s transmitters includes the group s maximum concentration includes the group s minimum concentration includes at least a quarter of the group s transmitters that meets set conditions includes at least a third of the group s transmitters that meets set conditions includes at least half of the group s transmitters that meets set conditions includes at least two thirds of the group s transmitters that meets set conditions includes at least three quarters of the group s transmitters that meets set conditions at least one or more than one of the group s transmitters that meets set conditions The transmitter that deviates the most from the average concentration reading of a group of transmitters is known as an outlier. This quantifier is only available in 301C24 models. Further dialog facilitates specifying the deviation from average required to activate the event and the minimum duration for this deviation. For example, it is possible to set the deviation to 15 ppm and the duration to 30 minutes. This is explained further in How to Build a California Title 24 Compliant System on page

46 The bottom left portion contains the logic, or operator, quantifier that determines how conditions are calculated. Options available in this field are: Operator Symbol --- No operator = Equal to <= Equal to or smaller than < Smaller than >= Equal to or larger than > Larger than!= Not equal to max min TSC Meaning When the maximum value is reached, an action is triggered. It will not be deactivated until levels fall below minimum value When concentrations fall below minimum value, an action is triggered. It will not be deactivated until concentrations rise above set maximum value The time since calibration reported by the sensor is evaluated. This number is also listed in the 1. TxInfo / Operating Times / Since Calib menu. Further dialog allows the time limit to be set from 0 minutes to 98 months. This logic function is supported only with E³Point transmitters. 46

47 The top right portion contains the source, which defines what device or group of devices the Event will be based on. The list provides the following options: Option GrAll GR _ Tx000 Clock Description Includes all transmitters (see note) Includes only the devices in the specified group (see note) Includes only the specified transmitter (connected to the controller) Includes only information gathered between the specified times. Selecting clock sets a condition that is applied only between the start and end time frame. It is possible to set one condition screen to specific parameters and the second to clock, which means that the specified condition will trigger an event only if it occurs during the set time period. Note: Clicking on the magnifying glass to the right of a Group number on the display opens a view of the Group for consultation or editing. Press Esc to close the group view and return to the Event condition screen. 47

48 The bottom right portion contains the operand, which defines what device or group of devices on which the Event will be based. The list provides the following options: Option OFF ON Fault Alrm A Alrm B Alrm C Description Used for status on binary inputs (ex.: used with 301ADI) Used for status on binary inputs (ex.: used with 301ADI) Bases trigger on maintenance alarm, communication failure or device failure If the chosen device or group has an Alarm A or Alarm 1, an event will be triggered. If the chosen device or group has an Alarm B or Alarm 2, an event will be triggered If the chosen device or group has an Alarm C, an event will be triggered. The Coverage Period screen allows the period that will be covered by the Event to be defined. (The time frames for each of these periods can be defined in the controller Config menu.) This option provides two further selection fields: Day definition field: allows All day, Daytime, or Nighttime to be selected Week definition field: Weekend, Working Days, All week 1. Use the keypad up or down arrows to scroll to either All day or All week 2. Press Enter to select. The value can now be changed 3. Use the keypad up or down arrows to scroll through options (see above) 4. Press Enter to select. 48

49 Status This screen displays the current event status and allows it to be either enabled or disabled, depending on the current status. Enable event: Toggles between Enable and Disable. After going through all the steps and programming an event, this screen will display Enable event. Press Enter to activate all the parameters and enable the Event. If an existing Event is being consulted, this screen would display Disable event. Press Enter to disable an Event (it will not be deleted but will not function). The programming of this Event is always present, which means that it easily can be reactivated by scrolling to this screen and pressing Enter. 49

50 4. Acqui Menu The Acquisition mode is accessible only when there is an SD card present (controllers with the Data Logging, or DLC function). It is used to enable or disable the logging of system Events or transmitter information. The information is logged (or recorded) on an SD card. Intervals or conditions must be defined before using this option. The first line of the Acquisition screen offers either: First Line Delay mode Threshold mode Description Allows for delay intervals of 10 to 59 seconds or 1 to 60 minutes. Allows log values to be set according to set variation thresholds (based on last reading) of 3% or more, 5% or more or 10% or more of last detected concentration. If a 3% threshold is selected, the system will not log a value at 3% but will log a value of 3.1%. Remember that the sampling rate (system refresh rate) may have an impact on logging. Here is an example of threshold logging. The logs a semi colon delineated text files :05:20;1_CO2_ppm;574;-normal-: :06:02;1_CO2_ppm;503;-normal-: :06:15;1_CO2_ppm;562;-normal-: :06:28;1_CO2_ppm;645;-normal-: :06:39;1_CO2_ppm;557;-normal-: :30:45;1_CO2_ppm;715;-normal-: 50

51 Starting and Stopping Tx Logging In the previous step, Acquisition, the frequency at which Tx logs would be recorded can be configured. To start the logging function: When Start Tx logging appears on the display, it indicates that the acquisition, or logging, mode is inactive. When Stop Tx logging appears, it indicates that Tx data is being logged. The log message is displayed on the screen according to the chosen mode and LED 1 will light up. Press the Enter keypad button to stop or start Tx logging. When Tx data is logged, the system creates files named tayymmdd.log, tbyymmdd.log and tcyymmdd.log, each representing one third of the network. The record includes the transmitter s date, time and address, the sensor type, the concentration read, as well as the alarm status. Here is a sample of what a Tx log looks like: ;54;25; 001_CO_ppm;0;-normal-;002_NO2_ppm;1.5;-normal-;003_CO_ppm;0;-normal ;55;25; 001_CO_ppm;0;-normal-;002_NO2_ppm;0.5;-normal-;003_CO_ppm;0;-normal ;56;25; 001_CO_ppm;0;-normal-;002_NO2_ppm;0.5;-normal-;003_CO_ppm;0;-normal ;57;25; 001_CO_ppm;0;-normal-;002_NO2_ppm;1.0;-normal-;003_CO_ppm;0;-normal ;58;25; 001_CO_ppm;0;-normal-;002_NO2_ppm;1.5;-normal-;003_CO_ppm;0;-normal- These log files are delimited by semicolons and are thus easily read by popular spreadsheet programs such as Microsoft Excel. The first column of the Tx log displays the date (yyyy mm dd) and the time (hh:mm:ss) of the log. In this example, the Delay mode was set to one minute intervals. The third column of the Tx log displays the transmitter address and the fourth displays the gas type, gas concentration and unit of measurement. 51

52 The display then lists the next transmitter address with its gas type, concentration and unit of measurement, and so on until all the transmitters have been listed. 52

53 Starting and Stopping Event Logging The Acquisition menu offers an event logging option. Event Logging records controller transactions, events, Tx and alarm flags and relay status. When Start Event logging appears on the display, it indicates that the acquisition, or logging, mode is inactive. When Stop Event logging appears, it indicates that Event data is being logged. Press the Enter keypad button to stop or start Event logging. When Event data is logged, the system creates a file named evyymmdd.log. The record includes the date, time and the event. Here is a sample of what an Event log looks like: :54:25: Event logging enable :55:25: Event logging enabled :05:47; Simulation sequence activated :05:48; Tx 6 communication no more in fault :05:48; Tx 8 communication no more in fault The first column of the Event log displays the date (yyyy mm dd) and time (hh:mm:ss) of the log. Column A displays the date and time of the log. In this example, the event s Delay mode was set to one minute intervals. The system logs the following types of events: Event Log Event status changed Alarm A, B, C, Fault, and X status changed Note: New log files are created when the existing files reach lines or at the start of a new week (0h00 Sunday) 53

54 5. Copy Menu The Copy menu allows programmed parameters to be copied and transferred. Data from the SD card can be transferred to a controller or from a controller to the SD card or copy parameters from one device to the next. The Copy option offers three screens: Configuration, Parameters and System Log. Configuration If the controller is equipped with an SD card, the configuration function allows data to be transferred either from the 301C controller to the SD card or the reverse. This makes it possible to transfer the controller s programming to a computer or from a computer to the controller. The first option in the configuration screen is 301C controller to SDcard. Selecting this option copies the controller s configuration and parameters into a config.ini file 1. Note: The second option is SDcard to 301C controller allows the configuration and parameters of the config.ini file on an SDcard to be copied to the controller. Power must be cycled to fully implement the SD card s configuration by stowing the jumper on the SHDN pin (see the illustration on page 12.) The config.ini file contents can be modified at any time and from any computer. 1 When transferring data, the system will automatically search for an existing config.ini file before proceeding. If one exists, the system searches for a config.bak file. If found, the file is deleted. Then, the pre-existing config.ini file is renamed config.bak, making it possible to save the new config.ini file and keep a backup copy of the previous one. After inserting an SD card into the controller, the controller s system looks for an existing config.ini file that contains an autoload tag equal to 1 (yes). If the tag is found, the system loads the contents of the file and resets autoload to 0 (no). This is a useful feature for editing the file on a computer without having any impact on the controller (such as recorded Events). 54

55 Parameters The parameters function allows one transmitter s configuration to be copied to another or one event s parameters to be copied to another event. This allows several devices that share identical or similar parameters to be quickly configured. The options within this screen are: Tx Info to Tx Info copies transmitter parameters from one device to another. Event to Event copies parameters from Event to Event. The process is identical for both options: Select source, (the data to be copied) using the up/down keypad arrows and press Enter. When the transmitter address is flashing, use the up/down keypad buttons to search for the desired device address. Press Enter to select the new address Select the target address (where the data is to be copied to) in exactly the same way as source Select COPY and press Enter. The parameters have been copied. 55

56 System Log Menu The controller will record log information to its internal memory. If the controller is equipped with an SD card, the system log function allows users to save system log information to the memory card in text format. When this option is selected, a log of all the last actions performed on the controller is copied to the SDcard, with the filename slyymmdd.log. This file can contain up to a maximum of 64Kb of information in text format. Once the memory card is full, the oldest log entries are erased and replaced by new entries. Here is an example of a system log: --- STAR T of system log dump : :19: :42:06;Accessing menu; :43:47;Event 1 definition modified; :48:12;Exiting menu; :54:49;System power-down; :56:40;System power-up; :02:44;Accessing menu; :03:07;Event 6 definition modified; :03:21;Exiting menu; :51:28;Accessing menu; :54:59;Database reset; :55:18;Tx 25 parameters modified; :55:29;Group 0 definition modified; :55:36;Group 0 definition modified; :55:46;Group 0 definition modified; :55:55;Group 4 definition modified; :55:57;Exiting menu; :56:02;Accessing menu; :56:19;Tx 24 parameters modified; 56

57 6. Config Menu The Config menu contains several main configuration screens and is used to program the controller display mode, adjust the date and time, select the display language, change the controller access password, set the Relay Configuration, and select the AP Broadcast mode. Each main screen offers further programming options, as shown. 57

58 Selecting the first line of the first screen allows selection from three display modes: Manual scroll, 3 second scroll, 5 second scroll. If Manual scroll mode is chosen, the screen will only advance if you press on the arrow keypad buttons. If either 3 or 5 second scroll mode is chosen, the screens will automatically scroll display readings for all devices connected to the controller after 3 or 5 seconds. 3 or 5 second scroll modes do not prevent the keypad arrows to be used to return to a previous screen or move ahead through the screens manually. Selecting the second line allows the date and time in a new screen to be adjusted; Date and Time. When a number is flashing, the value can be changed using the up/down keypad arrows. The year, month, day and the hour, minute and second values can be changed. The controller does not manage Daylight Savings Time, therefore, users must manually adjust any time changes. Selecting the third line allows the display language to be changed. If the display is already in English, it will then display the Menu français option (and vice versa). Simply scroll to the line and press Enter to change the language. 58

59 The second main screen in the Config menu allows a new user password to be set. The default password is Select Set User Password to change the password: When the first digit blinks, change the value by using the up/down keypad arrows to increase or decrease the number Use the left/right keypad arrows to move from one digit to the next. When the desired e has been set, press Enter to validate it and exit the editing mode. Note: Contact Honeywell technical support for help with lost passwords at The slave port is not used. 59

60 Scroll through the main Config menu screens using the left (previous) or right (next) keypad arrows. The third main screen in the Config menu allows the relay configuration to be set, the AP broadcast mode and to select from four separate manufacturers for the given controller. When Relay Configuration is selected, two further options to configure the relays are available: The first screen, Failsafe, appears allowing the failsafe to be activated for all relays using the Enter keypad button. This function inverts relay operation to be normally energized. If power is cut, the relay will activate the connected device. (ex. a light.) Scrolling to the right displays the Silence screen that enables or disables the silence option for each relay, using the Enter keypad button. 60
